Paying Restitution

Page Content

​Both juvenile and adult probationers may be ordered to pay restitution as a condition of probation. Restitution includes court fees, fines, and costs for detention or commitment in a juvenile institution. Restitution is also paid to victims to cover costs such as property damage, replacement and medical treatment.

You may not be released from probation until you have paid all your restitution, even if you have met all other conditions of probation.

Responsible Parties

When ordered by the court, adults who are convicted of a crime are responsible for paying restitution.

Minors and their parents, as well as guardians whose guardianship began before the adjudicated minor was 10 years of age, are accountable for the costs of restitution ordered by the court for crimes committed by the minor.
